This Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Be Musix, a global music distribution service provider (“Distributor”), and the undersigned content owner or rights holder (“Client”).
By using Be Musix’s services, the Client agrees to the following terms:
The Client hereby grants Be Musix the non-exclusive, worldwide right to distribute, sell, reproduce, and publicly perform the Client’s submitted music content (“Content”) through various digital platforms, streaming services, and stores.
Master Recording Revenue: Be Musix shall retain 30% of the Net Revenue generated from the exploitation of the sound recordings. The Client shall receive 70% of such revenue, payable in accordance with Be Musix’s standard payment schedule.
Publishing Revenue: The Client hereby grants Be Musix the right to collect all music publishing royalties generated from the public performance, mechanical reproduction, and synchronization of the underlying musical compositions in the Content. Be Musix shall remit 70% of all collected publishing revenue to the Client and retain 30% as its commission.
Minimum Payout Threshold: Payments to the Client will only be issued once the Client’s accrued balance reaches a minimum of $50 USD.
Payout Methods: Payouts will be made via PayPal or bank transfer, depending on the Client’s selected method in their account settings. Any transaction fees imposed by payment providers shall be borne by the Client and deducted from the payout.
The Client may request the removal of their Content from distribution. A $10.00 USD takedown fee will be charged per release or track removed at the Client’s request.
In the event of Client-initiated account termination or termination due to breach of agreement or fraudulent activity, the Client shall forfeit any and all unpaid revenue, and Be Musix shall have no further obligation to account for or pay such revenue.
This Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year from the date the Client first submits Content to Be Musix (the “Effective Date”).
Unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the expiration of the initial term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms under the same terms and conditions.
The Client retains full ownership of all copyrights in the musical compositions contained in the Content. However, the Client authorizes Be Musix to act as its non-exclusive publishing administrator for the purpose of collecting royalties, including but not limited to performance, mechanical, and digital publishing royalties, from collection societies and licensing platforms globally.
This authorization does not constitute a transfer of copyright ownership.
If the Client is found to be in violation of Be Musix’s policies—including but not limited to copyright infringement, fraudulent activity (such as artificial streaming), misleading metadata, or uploading unauthorized content—Be Musix reserves the right to:
Immediately suspend or terminate the Client’s account;
Withhold and/or reclaim any revenues generated from the infringing content;
Impose a penalty fee of up to $100 USD per violation, in addition to legal remedies;
Remove all content associated with the violation without prior notice.
Repeated or egregious violations may result in permanent ban from Be Musix services and referral to relevant legal authorities.
The Client agrees not to upload or distribute any content to which they do not own or control the necessary rights. If any third-party copyright infringement claims arise regarding the Client’s Content, Be Musix will respond in accordance with applicable intellectual property laws, including the DMCA or similar legal standards.
Be Musix reserves the right to:
Immediately remove the allegedly infringing Content;
Suspend or terminate the Client’s account;
Forfeit and reclaim revenues associated with the infringing material;
Disclose the Client’s identity to the rightful copyright holder or authorities if required by law.
The Client shall be solely responsible for all legal consequences and liabilities arising from the submission of infringing content.
The following are the Content Requirements for all submissions to Be Musix:
Track titles, artist names, genres, and release details must be accurate, properly formatted, and consistent.
Inaccurate or misleading metadata may result in removal or delayed release.
Be Musix will assign ISRC codes if not provided by the Client.
Must be a square image (minimum 1400×1400 px, max 3000×3000 px), in JPEG format.
No copyrighted images, logos, or offensive material.
Text (if included) must be legible and appropriate.
Be Musix reserves the right to reject or delay any Content that does not meet these requirements.
The Client represents that they own or control all rights in and to the Content and have the full legal authority to enter into this Agreement. The Content shall not infringe upon the rights of any third party.
The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Be Musix from any claims, damages, or liabilities resulting from a breach of this Agreement or from the distribution of the Client’s Content.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Be Musix operates.
